Barney’s Co-Op was confirmed for Atlantic Avenue this March, started construction in June, and now it’s here. The New York Post reports that the store (which is located at 194 Atlantic Avenue between Court and Clinton) has its official opening today, and the jury’s still out on how well the high-end retailer will fit into the neighborhood. A Carroll Gardens residents who approves of the arrival of stores like Barneys, Urban Outfitters, and Jonathan Adler said, “All of Atlantic Avenue used to be Middle Eastern restaurants. There didn’t used to be so many fun, interesting things around.” Another Brooklynite commented, “I can’t afford to even look.” UPDATE: Racked has a bunch of photos of the inside of the store here.

Those antique stores often had reproductions and were over priced.
The restaurnats were nothing too interesting.
Barneys is absurdly expensive and cannot suistain itself,
“I will only get excited if they have a Brooklyn version of the warehouse sale.”
ditto
Only if Charlton Heston’s descendants move there.
Damn you babs! I posted that before I saw yours. Great minds think alike? 😉
I dunno, benson. Benho sounds like a Japanese restaurant. How about Benhur? 😉
Actually, wouldn’t BenHur be better (and more obvious) for Bensonhurst?
“Better stuff than Babies R Us and cheaper.”
You would certainly know about all things cheap (and tacky), ET. Though I’d prefer Babes R Us.
“yes, because whips are so appropriate for little people”
Again, you would certainly know all about whips, ET. And who you calling little? Speaking of whips, this tramp I’ve been stalking gave me a whip for my birthday; I’m still waiting for the whipping. . . .
What’s that? Alright already. I heard you the first time, Biff!!! Yes, yes, back to the OT where I belong. I snuck out when cobble turned her back.
We are talking about Atlantic Avenue here in Brooklyn, not in Woodstock, Vermont. The middle eastern restaurants are missed but they have been gone forever. Barney’s Co-op shares the block with Trader Joe’s! (Not exactly your mom and pop establishment) Having grown up in New York City and having lived here all of my life, change is nothing new. If Barney’s wants to invest here – mazel tov!
I think my work is done here.
disappointed that 11217 has not gone off on more of a rant. I really enjoy those.
